Summary

A two-year graduate program focused on advanced mechanical system design, computational methods, thermo-fluids, mechanics, and engineering research, preparing engineers for analytical, industrial, and research-oriented roles.

The degree centers on design and analysis of mechanical systems through numerical tools, experimentation, and research. Core competencies include CFD, FEM, advanced thermodynamics, solid mechanics, fluid machinery, and engineering research methods. The curriculum integrates core theory, electives spanning four concentrations, a group project, and a final dissertation. Depth is built through simulation, design optimization, material–mechanics integration, and thermo-fluid system analysis.
